Free-ranging and free from bovine tuberculosis and brucellosis, the Ronald Lake wood bison population in northern Alberta has ecological, cultural, and spiritual importance. The ongoing sustainability of the population requires stewardship and management that aligns with the goals of Indigenous governments, provincial and federal governments, and other interested parties. Partnering with The Firelight Group, alongside […]

Oil reservoir souring is the production of toxic hydrogen sulfide by sulfate-reducing microorganisms (SRM) through naerobic respiration supported by organic electron donors present in oil fields. In recent years, nitrate injection has merged as a promising green biotechnology that has been proven effective in controlling sulfide production in oil fields. This strategy relies on inducing […]

La municipalité d’Edmundston souhaite se doter d’un plan de gestion des actifs naturels pour la mise en place d’une gestion intégrée de l’eau et son adaptation au changement climatique. Pour ce faire, elle vise à documenter de manière scientifique, explicite et cartographique les rôles des écosystèmes naturels (milieux humides, peuplements forestiers, bandes tampons riveraines) pour […]

Le kin-ball collectif est un sport inventé au Québec. Il est en croissance un peu partout sur la planète. Cependant, que bien peu d’études se sont penchées sur ce sport. Ce projet de recherche vise à mettre des bases sur la compréhension de l’effet sur le corps de la frappe à un ou deux bras […]

Increasing soil carbon and nitrogen storage is critical for mediating climate change and sustaining soil fertility. A large number of biodiversity manipulation experiments have collectively suggested that high plant diversity increases soil carbon and nitrogen stocks; however, it remains untested whether such conclusions hold in natural ecosystems. We will analyse Canada’s National Forest Inventory database […]

Genacol Canada Corporation Inc. manufactures a collagen hydrolysate (CH) supplement sourced from bovine (Genacol® Original Formula) that has shown positive results and potent efficacy in three clinical trials for reducing joint pain. Following digestion and absorption, CHs release amino acids and peptides that can lead to the health-promoting properties of the supplement. Recent studies suggest […]

The pandemic has had a devastating impact on mental health, substance use and homelessness in Canada. The pandemic has also made visible the current patchwork system of care provided in the private, public. It is expected that the medium-long term mental health and substance use impacts of the pandemic will be significant at both the […]

Team collaboration is important for performing image-guided surgery, including laparoscopic surgery. Therefore, training healthcare providers in a team setting is critical for the success of laparoscopic procedures. To improve the quality of any team training program, we need to develop a reliable assessment instrument to measure team performance. The currently available team assessment tools are […]

The objective of this research program is the development of new green synthetic methods with emphasis on metal-free procedures for the simple preparation of biologically and commercially important molecules. In particular, fluorinated sp3-enriched Nitrogen-containing compounds will be prepared by radical reactions of redox-active esters (i.e., N-hydroxyphthalimide, N-hydroxy-2-thiopyridone, etc.) derived from fluorinated alicyclic carboxylic acids with […]

As part of the circular-economy, agriculture and plant production are developing sustainable means by which to produce healthy and nutritious crops, while using environmentally responsible products and protocols. INTAG Bio has developed a dynamic bioreactor system that allows earthworms to mineralize fish and bovine waste materials into useful biofertilizers and plant biostimulants. This project will […]

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to the health of Canadians. The spread of antibiotic resistance organisms and lead to inappropriate antibiotic treatment and adverse health outcomes. With this project, one intern will be supported to learn and develop approaches for rapid bacterial diagnostics and surveillance, with direct relevance for knowledge translation and knowledge generation. […]

Le cancer du sein triple négatif (CSTN) est un sous-type très hétérogène de cancer du sein qui présente un mauvais pronostique pour les patientes. En plus de présenter des taux élevés de chimiorésistance, l’importante hétérogénéité intra-tumorale du CSTN complique grandement le traitement des patientes. La progression tumorale est caractérisée par la régulation réciproque des reprogrammations […]
